The welterweight semifinals for Bellator’s eight-man season-two tournament have been announced, and the pairings feature a grudge match between Ben Askren and Ryan Thomas, as well as Steve Carl vs. Dan Hornbuckle.

Both fights take place at Bellator 19, which is scheduled for May 20 at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas.

Bellator 19 also features a non-title “super fight” between featherweight champ Joe Soto and former UFC fighter Diego Saraiva.

As with all Bellator shows, Bellator 19 airs live on FOX Sports Net, and highlights packages from the show air the following weekend on NBC and Telemundo.

Askren (4-0 MMA, 1-0 BFC) and Thomas (11-4 MMA, 1-1 BFC) faced each other in the quarterfinals of the tournament at Bellator 14 on April 15. Askren was awarded a technical-submission victory when the referee called a halt to the contest despite the fact that Thomas had yet to tap from the hold.

Thomas instantly protested the decision, and through a twist of fate, Brit “Judo” Jim Wallhead was forced out of the bracket when volcanic ash prevented him from traveling to the U.S. for the following week’s Bellator 15 event. Thomas stepped in and defeated Jacob McClintock by TKO to qualify for the semifinals.

Askren and Thomas have been vocal about their willingness to fight again, and now they will do so for the second time in five weeks.

Carl (10-1 MMA, 1-0 BFC) qualified for the semifinals with a hard-fought split-decision win over Brett Cooper in the opening round of the tournament. Carl, a 25-year-old U.S. Army sergeant who served in the Iraq War, owns an eight-fight win streak overall.

Meanwhile, Hornbuckle (20-2 MMA, 1-0 BFC) earned his spot in the semifinals with a triangle-choke victory over Tyler Stinson at Bellator 15 on April 22. The win was Hornbuckle’s fifth-straight victory, and “The Handler” has now won 18 of his past 19 bouts overall.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
